Feragaia, a responsibly sourced alcohol-free spirit is championing the role of seaweed against the threats facing our ocean, in collaboration with GreenSea Solutions, a pioneering seaweed farm on the West Coast of Scotland.
These two innovative Scottish companies place great emphasis on the power of seaweed. From the nutrients it creates, to sustainably cultivating the marine plant to increase the ocean’s potential for food production and ease global pressures on land-based agriculture. Touted for adding body and a touch of salinity to the drink, Feragaia also uses seaweed as a botanical in its unique distilled spirit.
Seaweed has been highlighted as providing a number of benefits to not only the ocean, but the planet too. Grown without any harmful chemicals or fertilisers, seaweed gets all its nutrients from the environment whilst removing heavy metals and pollutants from the water. Helping to boost the health of our oceans, seaweed is twenty times more effective at removing carbon from the atmosphere than land-based plants!
Feragaia has been a champion of seaweed since the brand was established, with serrated wrack (North Atlantic seaweed) providing a base ingredient of the spirit. The process of making the spirit focuses on lessening the brand impact on the environment by building on age-old Scottish techniques of distillation and seaweed harvesting, all the while incorporating modern pioneering technologies.
Last year, the two brands came together to put a seeded seaweed line down into the clean Atlantic waters off the beautiful coast of Ardnamurchan. The line of seaweed grew in the ocean from the end of January 2021 to June 2021 where part of it will then be harvested for the edibles, cosmetics, biotechnology and agricultural industries/markets market.
Speaking of the power of seaweed, Feragaia co-founder Jamie Wild says: ‘At Feragaia, we want to highlight a more simplistic, wholesome way of living and operating as a business. We are constantly exploring various ways in which to source our ingredients in a way that gives back to the environment and to make a positive difference.
Our name means ‘Wild Earth’, and our mission is all about connecting people back to nature through bold alcohol-free adventures. Serrated wrack is a key ingredient in our naturally flavoured spirit and from this and our collaboration with GreanSea Solutions, we are better able to understand the power of seaweed and its positive impact on our oceans, planet and health.
Douglas and Amabel Hamilton, Co-Founders of GreenSea Solutions Ltd commented: We believe seaweed cultivation is the way forward, and with the growing use of seaweed in many new products coming onto the market, we hope more companies will choose to switch from using wild harvested to line cultivated seaweed. Together with Feragaia, we aim to place seaweed at the fore of British plates and minds’.
